Bottle Stopper Kits
Bottle stopper kits do not include the material for the top
piece.
Bottle stoppers
have been around since man discovered that liquids can and will
spill out of a container if there is nothing there to prevent it.
Stoppers can be used for their intended purpose or can be used as
decorations. Many people collect wood from all over the world
in the form of stoppers, they make excellent gifts and are very easy
to make.
When comparing prices please be aware that we can ship 30 Deluxe
stoppers by Priority Mail for $4.75 or 100 Deluxe stoppers by
Priority Mail for $10.20, or 140 stoppers for $13.95 (two to three day delivery). Shipping
charges can add a significant cost to your purchase and we do
everything we can in order to keep your shipping costs low.
Insured shipments cost extra. |

Sorry, but stoppers are not
yet available for beer cans :>)) |

A special note: |
If you are selling your
stoppers I highly recommend that you use the stainless steel
model. It is a little more expensive than some of the
other models but you will never have to worry about a customer
bringing back the stopper to you because of corrosion problems.
The stainless steel stoppers are the only
stoppers we guarantee against any form of corrosion caused by
any liquid that can be safely consumed by human beings.
When in doubt use stainless steel! |

BHW-472 Stainless Steel Mini-Teardrop
Bottle Stopper

| |
| We have added an additional mini
stainless steel bottle stopper to our selection of stopper
kits. This new stopper is made right here in the USA
and uses the same mandrels, sizing bushing, black silicone
rubber gasket and specialty tooling as our BHW-470 mini
stopper. |
| Solid, one piece unit
(the threaded stud is not removable. |
Adjustable Stainless Steel & Chrome
Bottle Stopper
Pictured with one of Ed Davidson's
silver butterfly 3D bottle stopper blocks
| We now have an adjustable bottle stopper
that will fit numerous bottles as well as having the added
benefit of being constructed out of 304 stainless steel and
chrome. The flat washer and screw that are exposed to
corrosive elements are made of Type 304 stainless steel.
The gaskets are made from food grade silicone rubber.
This stopper also has our standard 3/8"-16 threads so it is
compatible with all of our mandrels, buffing handles, etc. This
stopper is unique in that it adapts itself to the inside
neck opening of typical wine bottles. The various
adjustment results in tightening the top piece of the
stopper. In other words, as you tighten the stopper
(turning clockwise) the soft silicone gaskets expand thus
sealing the bottle. Turning the stopper top
counter-clockwise will reduce the size of the soft silicone
gaskets allowing the stopper to be removed from the bottle. |

BHW-471 Chrome Tear Drop
Bottle Stoppers
| These stoppers offer a classic, old fashioned look as
well as more weight towards the bottom end of the stopper
that, for some, create a better balance. The removable
threaded stud has the same thread size as the BHW-465, -466,
-467, -468, and -469, -470, -471, -472 and -473 (3/8"-16). |
| The

Deluxe
Bottle Stoppers

We are proud to have our own line of stoppers
in chrome, black titanium, gold titanium, bright copper and
solid Type 316 polished stainless steel. All four of these
stoppers are highlighted by the black silicone rubber wedge.
The thread size is the same as the Penn State Industries
and
Craft Supplies USA stoppers of the same design (3/8"-16
threads per inch). This kit will accommodate bottles
having a 5/8" to 13/16" neck opening. |

Arizona Silhouette Inc is proud to offer
an exclusive new material in our bottle stopper line - Type
316 stainless steel. Although these
stoppers are a little more expensive than the chrome and
copper stoppers, people who sell (or give away) the Type 316
SST stoppers are buying "piece of mind". Anyone who
makes stoppers looses control on how their pieces
are used once they leave their shop. Some people will
use a regular chrome or copper stopper they purchased with a
liquid material that is corrosive in nature and, with long
exposure, may eventually cause the plating to flake or
corrode (wine vinegars for example) . Type 316 SST
will stand up to anything that a human may or want to
consume. When you sell one of our SST stoppers you
don't have to worry about it coming back to you unless the
top material has somehow failed.
Type 316
stainless steel is the best stainless steel for this type of
application. Used for their intended purpose, you do
not have to concern yourself about corrosion. The
following information came from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel
:"Type 316—the second most common grade (after 304);
for
food
and
surgical stainless steel uses; Alloy addition of
molybdenum prevents specific forms of corrosion. 316 steel
is used in the manufacture and handling of food and
pharmaceutical products where it is often required in order
to
minimize metallic contamination. It is also known
as "marine grade" stainless steel due to its increased
resistance to chloride corrosion compared to type 304. SS316
is often used for building
nuclear reprocessing plants. Most watches that
are made of stainless steel are made of Type 316L;....."
The hobbyist also has the option of altering the finish of
this stopper. These stoppers can be glass-beaded for a
satin finish, they can be buffed to a higher gloss and they
can be jeweled without
having to worry about working through any plating since
there isn't any plating. |

stoppers for $4.75 by Flat Rate Priority Mail, 100

Tooling to make the creation of these
stoppers a little bit easier.....

One-piece #1 Morse Taper and #2 Morse
Taper Bottle Stopper Mandrels |
|
|
 |
We now offer two bottle stopper
mandrels manufactured from one solid piece of 304
stainless steel. These mandrels will work on all
of the bottle stoppers we carry that have a 3/8"-16
threads (BHW-465, -466, -467, -468, -469, -470, -471,
-472 and
-473 series stoppers). You do not need a 3 jawed
chuck or a Jacobs chuck to utilize these new mandrels.
Just install in the headstock of your lathe and away you
go.
These mandrels are made with a Number 1 and a Number 2
Morse taper and both have 3/8"-16 threads. Each
mandrel also has a 1/4"-20 threaded hole in the tail to
allow for the use of a drawbar. Here is a short
video produced by Ed Davidson on how to make and use a
drawbar:
Morse Taper Bottle
Stopper Mandrels .
These mandrels utilize the two different sizing bushings
that are used for the BHW-465, -466, -467, -468, -469,
-471, -472 and -473 series stoppers as well as the BHW-471
stoppers. Each mandrel is sold separately
and you will need to order the correct sizing
bushing for the bottle stopper you wish to make.
Order both size sizing bushings and you are all set for
both diameters.
We recommend that you use the
3/8"-16 Norseman Bottom Tap $3.95 as well as the
5/16" Norseman Drill Bit $4.49 to make it easier to mount the
material used for the bottle stopper handle onto the
mandrels. |

sad experience of having a finished bottle stopper blank get
'caught & thrown' by a buffing wheel? Using our Delrin
handle will give you a much more secure way of buffing the
stoppers and not having to worry about dodging a run-a-way
stopper block. The handle is 7" long and comes
complete with two Delrin bushings for shallow or deep
3/8"-16 threads. This handle will work with the BHW-465,
-466, -467, -468, -469, -470 and the BHW-471
series stoppers. |

New lower price!
BHW-470 $5.99 each |
Machined from one solid piece of 304 Stainless steel bar
stock, these little beauties are made right here in the United
States. They come with the same reliable & long lasting black
silicone rubber wedge seal found on all of the stoppers we carry in
this style (the seals are pre-installed by us and you don't have to
worry about them breaking). This one piece unit comes with the
tenon cut with the same 3/8"-16 threads as our other black silicone
wedge stoppers. The threaded Tenon is not
removable.
The Mini-Stoppers have an overall length of 2 11/32"
(including the threaded tenon). Top of flat base to the
pointed tip measures approximately 1 7/8" long and the base diameter
measures approximately .734".
As you can see in the picture below the Mini-Stopper
fits lower in a bottle with a smaller opening. Keep in mind that the
inside hole diameter of wine bottles vary as much as the selection
of candy bars at your local market. There is no industry
standard for the inside diameter of wine bottles. |

Making A Bottle
Stopper

Compiled and

"Mr. Bottle Stopper" |

|
Here are five
different methods to
chuck a bottle
stopper blank on
your lathe. There
are probably several
more, but these are
the one's I'm most
familiar with. |
| |
| Method # 1...my favorite, with chrome cone style stopper base: Blank is mounted using Arizona Silhouette's hefty mandrel in a drill chuck on the headstock. The blank was drilled with a 23/64" bit. |
 |
| Method # 2...chrome cone style stopper base, using PSI's 1" X 8tpi chuck mounted on the headstock. The blank was drilled with a 11/32" bit. |
 |
|
 |
| Method # 4...Berea All-Chrome stopper base: Blank is mounted using Arizona Silhouette's little mandrel in a drill chuck on the headstock. The blank was drilled with a 6mm or 15/64" bit |
 |
| Method # 5...My least favorite. Chrome cone style stopper base: Blank is mounted using a 3/8" metal rod about 2" long, in a Nova scroll chuck. Note the nail that's used to wedge the blank onto the chuck. The blank hole is drilled with a 3/8" bit. |
